Festival paella catering in Belsize Park, made fresh on the day
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Whether it is county and country shows and race days and sports events, we’ll put together a menu of vegan paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
Events in Belsize Park range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in Belsize Park stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Tell us where to park and unload

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
Belsize Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
